NAME
       gitmodules - defining submodule properties

SYNOPSIS
       $GIT_WORK_DIR/.gitmodules

DESCRIPTION
       The .gitmodules file, located in the top-level directory of a git
       working tree, is a text file with a syntax matching the requirements of
       git-config(1).

       The file contains one subsection per submodule, and the subsection
       value is the name of the submodule. Each submodule section also
       contains the following required keys:

       submodule.<name>.path
	   Defines the path, relative to the top-level directory of the git
	   working tree, where the submodule is expected to be checked out.
	   The path name must not end with a /. All submodule paths must be
	   unique within the .gitmodules file.

       submodule.<name>.url
	   Defines an url from where the submodule repository can be cloned.
	   This may be either an absolute URL ready to be passed to git-
	   clone(1) or (if it begins with ./ or ../) a location relative to
	   the superproject’s origin repository.

       submodule.<name>.update
	   Defines what to do when the submodule is updated by the
	   superproject. If checkout (the default), the new commit specified
	   in the superproject will be checked out in the submodule on a
	   detached HEAD. If rebase, the current branch of the submodule will
	   be rebased onto the commit specified in the superproject. If merge,
	   the commit specified in the superproject will be merged into the
	   current branch in the submodule. This config option is overridden
	   if git submodule update is given the --merge or --rebase options.

       submodule.<name>.fetchRecurseSubmodules
	   This option can be used to control recursive fetching of this
	   submodule. If this option is also present in the submodules entry
	   in .git/config of the superproject, the setting there will override
	   the one found in .gitmodules. Both settings can be overridden on
	   the command line by using the "--[no-]recurse-submodules" option to
	   "git fetch" and "git pull".

       submodule.<name>.ignore
	   Defines under what circumstances "git status" and the diff family
	   show a submodule as modified. When set to "all", it will never be
	   considered modified, "dirty" will ignore all changes to the
	   submodules work tree and takes only differences between the HEAD of
	   the submodule and the commit recorded in the superproject into
	   account. "untracked" will additionally let submodules with modified
	   tracked files in their work tree show up. Using "none" (the default
	   when this option is not set) also shows submodules that have
	   untracked files in their work tree as changed. If this option is
	   also present in the submodules entry in .git/config of the
	   superproject, the setting there will override the one found in
	   .gitmodules. Both settings can be overridden on the command line by
	   using the "--ignore-submodule" option.

EXAMPLES
       Consider the following .gitmodules file:

	   [submodule "libfoo"]
		   path = include/foo
		   url = git://foo.com/git/lib.git

	   [submodule "libbar"]
		   path = include/bar
		   url = git://bar.com/git/lib.git

       This defines two submodules, libfoo and libbar. These are expected to
       be checked out in the paths include/foo and include/bar, and for both
       submodules an url is specified which can be used for cloning the
       submodules.
